A great egret throws its wings open as it pursues small fish in the shallows. Backlighting, strong contrast and black-and-white treatment aims to turn a common scene into something a little more timeless, highlighting the bird's graceful movement.

A Rainbow Bee-eater often tosses its catch into the air before eating it. This behaviour helps the bird position the prey correctly so it can be swallowed headfirst.

Every spring, wildflowers turn parts of WA's mid-west into a sea of colour. Taken from ground level among a field of yellow everlastings, this image aims to capture the feeling of lying among the flowers on a sunny day, soaking up the sunshine and enjoying the moment

After diving for fish, a fairy tern gives a quick spin to shake water from its feathers. I photographed this bird at sunset, using the backlit glow from the sea to capture the movement and spray. Fairy terns are endangered, so we’re lucky to have them nesting in an urban environment close to Perth. Protecting these breeding areas is vital for the species survival.

This image was captured during the afternoon feeding time of the Great Crested Grebes. It beautifully highlights the devotion of both parents to their chicks. One parent provides a safe and warm ride on its back, while the other delivers a freshly caught fish for feeding.

On remote Christmas Island, a grapsus crab clings to the rocky shore as a wave crashes over it. To get the shot, I stood waist-deep in a rockpool, keeping one eye on the crab and the other on the ocean as waves threatened to swamp my camera.

A honey possum pauses briefly while feeding on a scarlet banksia. These tiny nocturnal marsupials emerge at dusk and spend the night moving between flowers, consuming almost their body weight in pollen and nectar before dawn.

The Great Crested Grebe's courtship dance is one of the most remarkable displays in the avian world. During this elegant ritual, the pair rises breast to breast above the water, synchronizing their movements with head-shaking displays while presenting aquatic plants in their bills.

A new holland honeyeater stares down the lens in the warm glow of a Dryandra sunrise, framed by an ever-changing patchwork of light and shadow. Although common across the south-west, these birds have so much personality I never tire of photographing them.
